Warnings/Restrictions/bans for network manipulation are usually caused by you or a member of your pre-made fireteam doing something... less than honorable behind the scenes of your matches. If it was not you, then it was a member of your team and Bungie has no real way to determine how much or little you knew about the player who was doing it, but it should have been obvious is that something fishy was going on. One of the biggest indicators of network manipulation and the largest red flag to bail out of your team is when your enemy loses 1 or more players in numerous matches. This is the alarm to save your account and bail out of the team. [b]Restrictions are temporary, and will not be overturned or undone before they expire. Once an account is banned however, that ban is permanent. Account restrictions and bans are only done in extreme cases; if actions were taken against your account, then it was with reason. [/b]Bans are lifetime for that account If you believe the ban or restriction was placed in error, feel free to submit an appeal on this [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Support/Troubleshoot?oid=48629]Page[/url]. Please read all the info on the page before submitting the form at the bottom. [b]Keep in mind…Bungie rarely will send you a reply unless your ban is overturned. So if more than a few days have passed without a reply, then the answer is no, and the ban will stand.[/b] [url=http://www.bungie.net/bans]bans and restrictions policy page[/url] [i]*I am not a Bungie representative, just a player trying to give the answers that are available.[/i]
